I'm writing my skins in Vitual Web Developer Express as web controls.  It seems much easier than using an extra XML file for the tokens. 

I'm trying to stick with as many standard modules as possible, so I'm using solpartmenu, rather than getting a 3rd party for now.  The reason I would like to stick with the included controls is for portability.  I'd rather not have to require other 3rd parties wtih my skins at this time.(if I ever can get a skin to work :-> ).

I've been beating my head against a wall trying to understand what sounds to be a relativly simple idea.   I have graphic to lay behind the buttons, and I can get that to work no problem.  Where it becomes an issue is on the sides of the entire menu container.  I'd like to round those off.  I have no working samples at this time, but I can put one up if need be. 

There are a few different ways I've tried.  The most obvious way was three div's floated left.  First div has a background-image of the left edge of the menu bar, second one contains the menu control(which has the image for the button background set), and the third div has the right side of the bar set to the background.

Again, I'm not trying to wrap each individual root item, rather the whole Menu container so each side is rounded.  The above would seem to work, except the last cell in the table created by solpart is 100% wide, and empty, leaving a huge empty gap between what is supposed to be the end of the container and the buttons.

Is there a CSS class I"m missing that wraps the whole container already, or a way to get rid of this last TD thats 100% wide?

I hope that makes sense.  if not I can slap togather some code again and show you exactly what I mean.

I haven't tried any of the other NAV systems included, assuming this is the one I should be using.

Thanks

I'm not sure if this will help at all, but I encountered an issue with Solpartmenu and the extra width/length after all the menu options.  It only happened in Firefox, and only because I was trying to create a tableless skin (minus the menu).  There is a line in the spmenu.js that gives the table a width of 100% if it is horizontal or a length of 100% if vertical.  All I did was remove that, and the issue was resolved.  It happens doesn't happen in IE because it recognizes width and height as max-width and max-height.  Also, it happens in table less designs because I wanted the divs to stretch or compress to fit content.

Maybe this will help, maybe not.  Good luck
